First man to walk on the Moon July 1969
Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is a former American astronaut, test pilot, university professor, and naval aviator. He is the first person to have set foot on the Moon. His first spaceflight was Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot. On this mission, he performed the first manned docking of two spacecraft together with pilot David Scott. Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as mission commander of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission on July 20, 1969. On this famous "giant leap for mankind", Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface ("The Eagle has landed") and spent 2.5 hours exploring while Michael Collins orbited above.
Before becoming an astronaut, he was an aviator for the United States Navy and saw action in the Korean War, then a test pilot at the NACA High-Speed Flight Station, now known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, where he flew over 900 flights in a variety of aircraft. As a research pilot, Armstrong served as project pilot on the F-100 Super Sabre A and C aircraft, F-101 Voodoo, and the Lockheed F-104A Starfighter. He also flew the Bell X-1B, Bell X-5, North American X-15, F-105 Thunderchief, F-106 Delta Dart, B-47 Stratojet, KC-135 Stratotanker and Paresev.

He was stepping down onto the Moon.
If you want proff that it really happened, there is a mirror on the Moon which is used by astronomers to accurately measure the Moon's distance from the Earth.
Anyone with right equipment can use it and many do.
So, who put it there?
The astronauts did in 1969.
And finally, the hammer and feather experiment cannot be replicated on the Earth.

Just that for him ,taking into account his career and aspiration as both a pilot and astronaut, it was just another move forward
But for the human race the move forward was astronomical in terms of discovering new worlds, exceeding Christopher Columbus in opening up new possibilities

If you saw the overwhelming evidence proving the Americans did not land on the moon, you'd be ashamed on their behalf. Laughable.
